Answer:
An alternate name for the French and Indian War from 1756 forward is the Seven Years' War.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Seven Years' War was a series of international conflicts that occurred between 1756 and 1763, during the reign of Louis XV, between France, the Habsburg Monarchy and its allies (Saxony, Russian Empire, Swedish Empire and Spain) on one side, and England, Portugal, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Hanover, on the other. Several factors triggered the war: the concern of the European powers with the growing prestige and power of Frederick II the Great, King of Prussia; the disputes between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Kingdom of Prussia for the possession of Silesia, the eastern German province, which had passed into Prussian rule in 1742 during the War of Austrian Succession; and the dispute between Britain and France over commercial and maritime control of the colonies of the Indies and North America. It was also motivated by the dispute over territories in Africa, Asia and North America.
The North American phase was denominated French and Indian War, and faced England and its North American colonies against France and its Algonquian allies.
